Of course Rupert Murdoch is not on trial for his news agency's phone hacking crimes, but one of his chief executives, Rebekah Brooks, is. And somebody decided it was time to bring another name into the mix: Tony Blair.
According to emails between Brooks and James Murdoch, once the hacking scandal came to light, Tony advised Brooks (by phone - surely the NSA will have the call data) to chill and take sleeping pills, to launch their own investigation of themselves which would, of course, have the aim to clear them of wrongdoing (it always works for government), and to use him as an advisor, but keep that on the hush-hush.
Oops to that last part.
